Life Feeding Life
A Food ritual for Intention and Energy
Photo by SunWarrior
How to do it:
When you sit in front of a meal, just before you start eating, reflect on and answer this question:
"What will this energy transform itself into over the next 3-4hrs?"
You can answer this to yourself, or use as a nice prompt when sharing a meal with others.
Examples: "This energy is to become completing XYZ." or "To become love and living fully." or “To become ecstatic dancing!”
Make up your own.
This ritual pairs nicely with Dining with Ancestors and Seed to Stomach.
Why do it:
We often forget what food actually is and does. We just think, "I'm hungry." And satisfy that longing. In reality, food is condensed sun and water energy. Eating it puts that energy into your body so that you may continue to be and do.
This ritual also helps bring our attention more acutely to the few hours ahead of us that this energy is powering. So create some clarity into what this time can yield.
